German Researchers Fabricate Black Perovskite Cells with 15% Efficiency Updated On Mon, Jun 21st, 2021 by Saurenergy In a recent paper entitled “Efficient Thermally Evaporated γ-CsPbI3 Perovskite Solar Cells,” published this month in the journal Advanced Energy Materials, scientists report on the fabrication of a ‘black perovskite‘ PV device — a solar cell based on all-organic cesium-lead iodide (CsPbI3) — by thermal evaporation. Researchers at the Dresden University of Technology (TUD) note that […] Read more
Solar Power Technology Continues To Wait On the Promise Of Perovskite Cells Updated On Tue, Apr 20th, 2021 by Saurenergy Scientists today are using perovskite materials, named after a little known 19th Century Russian mineralogist and nobleman Count Lev Perovski, to make solar cells more efficient and adaptable than ever before. The material was first discovered in Russia’s Ural Mountains in 1839 by Gustav Rose and became fairly common in later decades wherein it was […] Read more
Fraunhofer ISE Research Cuts Silver Use In Solar Cells by 90% Updated On Tue, Apr 29th, 2025 by Saurenergy Scientists at Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) have developed silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells with silver consumption of just 1.4 milligrams per watt peak — about one-tenth (which is 90%) of the current industrial standard. The breakthrough comes as global demand for photovoltaics rises, with a shift to a climate-neutral energy system […] Read more
